47-year-old Ronald Berry used to work as a subway cleaner for the MTA in New York, until he got fired a few years ago. But apparently no one told payroll.\u00a0 So for four years, he just kept showing up on payday to collect his paychecks.<\/p>\n
And in that time they’ve paid him roughly $250,000.\u00a0 Then he went last Thursday to get his check, and cops arrested him. Ronald says he didn’t think he was doing anything wrong.\u00a0 He claims he went on sick leave for high blood pressure and asthma.\u00a0 And he thought the paychecks were legit. They arrested him for trespassing when he showed up to get his check. \u00a0It’s not clear if he’s also facing fraud charges.<\/p>\n

With the new sequel, some have speculated that he might actually be alive, but Gilligan says that that is not the case.

We\u2019re surely not the first to think this sounds like a recipe for overconsumption.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But Butler says Open Concepts bartenders are trained like any other bars staff to recognize the signs of over consumption.<\/p>\n _______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u2713 Hippopotamuses have skin 3.8cm (1.5in) thick.<\/p>\n \u2713 The term \u2018Cop\u2019 comes from \u201cConstable on Patrol\u201d, which is a term used in England.<\/p>\n \u2713 Most of the Vitamin C found in fruit is in the skin.<\/p>\n \u2713 Walt Disney originally suggested using the name \u201cMortimer Mouse\u201d instead of<\/p>\n \u00a0______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n GOOD NEWS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A new study looked back at 70 years’ worth of research, and found people with dogs are less likely to die young IN GENERAL.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Researchers looked at the medical records of about four million people from the U.S., Canada, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Australia, and the U.K.\u00a0 And they found people with dogs are 24% less likely to die young for ANY reason.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dog owners also have a 31% reduced risk of dying from heart disease.\u00a0 And when they do have a heart attack or stroke, they tend to recover faster.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The authors of the study found an even bigger difference for people who lived alone but had dogs.\u00a0 So companionship has a lot to do with it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the fact that dog owners get more exercise also plays a big role.\u00a0 Previous studies have found people who walk their dogs get up to 30 more minutes of exercise a day.\u00a0 And even just petting a dog has been shown to lower blood pressure.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [73] Daryl Hall, singer\/guitarist\/keyboardist (Hall & Oates)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n (54) Lennie James, actor<\/strong> (Morgan, on\u00a0“Fear The Walking Dead”<\/em>)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [51] Jane Krakowski, actress (\u201c30 Rock\u201d 2006-13, \u201cAlly McBeal\u201d 1997-2002)\/Broadway actress (Tony Award-\u201cNine\u201d, \u201cGrand Hotel\u201d)<\/p>\n \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n HAVE YOU EVER QUIT A JOB DUE TO A CHALLENGING MANAGER?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A poll of over 2,800 U.S. workers ages 18+ shows who says they’ve quit a job due to having a challenging manager:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In total, 49% say they’ve quite a job due to having a challenging manager<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That includes: 54% of respondents ages 18-34<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 49% of those ages 35-54<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 41% of those ages 55+<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n THE ONE ABOUT CLEANING THE HOUSE:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n Now it\u2019s something a little more strenuous.

There are a few explanations for why cleaning translates into lower levels of stress and anxiety for some.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Darby Saxbe, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Southern California, says that cleaning gives people a sense of mastery and control over their environment. It allows us to assert our will on our living space.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n People also sometimes turn to rituals\u2014including cleaning\u2014to reduce stress stemming from other parts of their lives.<\/p>\n \u00a0______________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n FRIDAY OCTOBER 11TH<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [73] Daryl Hall, singer\/guitarist\/keyboardist (Hall & Oates)<\/p>\n (54) Lennie James, actor<\/strong> (Morgan, on\u00a0“Fear The Walking Dead”<\/em>)<\/p>\n [51] Jane Krakowski, actress (\u201c30 Rock\u201d 2006-13, \u201cAlly McBeal\u201d 1997-2002)\/Broadway actress (Tony Award-\u201cNine\u201d, \u201cGrand Hotel\u201d)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Houston Astros won the deciding game 5 against the Tampa Bay Rays last night, with some insurance runs in the 8th inning . . . back to back homers from Michael Brantley and Jose Altuve.<\/p>\n Tampa Bay 1 – Houston 6.<\/strong>\u00a0 The Astros will host the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series tomorrow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Nationals and the Cardinals begin the National League Championship Series tonight in St. Louis.\u00a0 Both are best of seven series.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NFL <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TOM BRADY<\/strong>\u00a0moved to #2 on the all-time passing yardage list as the Patriots beat the Giants 35 to 14 last night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LAUREN ALAINA DANCES TO DOLLY PARTON\u2019S \u2018JOLENE\u2019 ON ‘DWTS’<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n In case you missed it,\u00a0Lauren Alaina<\/strong>\u00a0and her\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/em>\u00a0partner\u00a0Gleb Savchenko<\/strong>\u00a0twirled their way to a score of 32 out of 40 points for\u00a0Monday night\u2019s (October 7th) episode of the show.
